Gillian King has been appointed as a non-executive board member of the Port of Aberdeen, in Scotland, UK. She brings more than 20 years of experience within the international energy sector in technical, commercial and senior management roles across Asia, Europe and the Americas.

Ms King is currently director for group strategic growth at Aberdeen-headquartered offshore engineering and service company Three60 Energy.

She will join Port of Aberdeen on 6 January 2025. Her appointment comes at a pivotal time for the multipurpose trust port as it accelerates its diversification and decarbonisation strategies while continuing to deliver safe services across energy, trade and tourism.

“Gillian King brings a wealth of experience within the wider energy industry and she will be invaluable as the port continues to lead efforts in the energy transition,” said Port of Aberdeen chairman Roy Buchan.

Port of Aberdeen chief executive Bob Sanguinetti said Ms King would help the board of the trust port as it advances its vision of becoming the UK’s first net-zero port.
